Korean Adjectives Part 2

WATCH THE LESSON: https://youtu.be/fcdhEIH1ue4
This is the second lesson on adjectives. In the first adjectives lesson we learned that adjectives have the verb 'to be' built into them and can be conjugated just like verbs. For example:
"The bus is big."
버스 커/커요/큽니다
You just say bus then the verb for big conjugated into the simple present. But what do you do when you want to make a sentence like:
"The big bus arrives."
We need to conjugate our adjectives a different way. Let me show you how.
We start with the infinitive. Our adjectives in the infinitive form end in -da.
크다 & 작다
keu-da & jak-da
to be big & to be small
Step one- cut off the -da and what you're left with is called the verb root.
크  & 작
keu & jak
Step two add ㄴ to verb roots that end in vowels and add 은 to verb roots that end in consonants.
큰 & 작은
keu & ja-geun
big & small
Now you've got your adjective and it fits in the sentence exactly where you would expect, right in front of the noun its describing.
큰 버스 와요.
keun beo-seu wa-yo.
The big bus arrives.

and add a subject marker
큰 버스가 와요.
keun beo-seu-ga wa-yo.
The big bus arrives.

Now here is a special case:
When the adjective ends in 있다. you cut off the -da and add 는. not an 은, a full 는.
For example: to be delicious is 맛있다
If you want to say "I eat delicious pizza."
We cut if the -da of to be delicious
맛있
and add 는
맛있는
ma-sin-neun
and notice that this ending has consonant assimilation. Remember consonant assimilation? According to the rules when we have a t sound followed by an n the t sound turns into an n sound. So, it is not ma-sit-neun. It is ma-shin-neun.

Now we can use it in the sentence
저 맛있는 피자 먹어요
and add subject and object markers
저는 맛있는 피자를 먹어요
Check out that word order btw. subject adjective object verb.
You can also use use adjectives to describe the subject of the sentence. For example:
The big man eats delicious pizza
큰 남자 맛있는 피자 먹어요
and let's add subject and object markers
큰 남자는 맛있는 피자를 먹어요
Now our word order is adjective subject adjective object verb.
The adjective just goes in front of the thing it's describing. just like English.

Now you know a new way to use adjectives. Thanks for studying with me you guys annyeonghi gyesipsio
